Phil Snow's Defense


PantherPhann89

Recommended Posts

has too many holes: receivers are constantly making catches in open pockets with 3-4 defenders around them and neither one then breaks on the ball. Are we purposely playing safe to not get beat overtop?

to much inconsistencies: our pressure is too erratic. Granted Brees gets the ball out quick but we can't show our hand before the snap. 

gives too much cushion: why were we giving backup receivers that much respect. We should've played more man on receivers & Kamara

I don't think we're missing a player on defense. I think we're missing coaching!

The Defense doesn't seem to have a goal of making stops... The goal seems to be allowing a death by a thousand cuts and hoping for a turnover here and there.

yeah I agree, seems to be a bend don't break mentality. But that didn't fit Rhule's style to me.

I think Snow is fine.  He's trying to hide our deficiencies, and there are a lot of them.  Name the guys you can depend on on defense...  I can only come up with Burns, Brown, and Chinn.  Everyone else is a question mark.  It's tough to play defense like that, especially on the backend.  And you play zone when your guys can't play man or consistently get pressure.  We don't have the personnel to man up.

Thank you.

I'm not Hugh on Phil Snow's support list but I wouldn't say he suck, I'd say he's being too safe. But that could be because he don't trust the players. 

The players he has aren’t the best. He probably trust 3 players total on this defense. If that. And two are Rookies. It’s hard to trust complete garbage to not be complete garbage. Somehow, he’s made chicken salad out of chicken poo so far.

    • These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.
    • If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
